Los Angeles, CA – On November 10 2015, Sami Gros launched a Kickstarter campaign for the Tail Lights Rider Safety System, a small and affordable LED lighting system that is the first of its kind designed specifically for equine use.

“After my horse and my friend (who was riding) were hit by a car, I vowed to make the best lighting safety system that was fun, beautiful, durable and most of all visible,” the creator explains, “I first created the Tail Lights PRO unit which is currently being used and/or tested by eight Mounted Patrol units in Canada and the United States. After seeing the success of this product, I decided to make a smaller more consumer version that was just as beautiful, but at a more affordable price.”

Every year thousands of horses and riders are injured and killed by collisions on the roads. The Tail Lights team believes that with technology, they can find a solutions that will keep everyone safe and improve our streets and urban areas.

The Tail Lights Rider series comes with a sleek and compact front unit that attaches onto a breast collar, and a beautifully designed rear Tail Light unit with four strands of cutting edge LED strands. The Tail Lights Rider series attaches to the base of the tail with the company’s Tail Lights tail wrap.

The whole system is simple to use, wireless, and controlled with a small hand held remote. Riders can easily control the brightness, light patterns and colors (red, blue, yellow, green, pink and white). The Tail Lights System has a nine hour run time on a four hour charge. Just wrap, clip and GO!

“Because we are already in production of the Tail Lights PRO series, we have already secured manufacturing, and we are just waiting for the working capital to start tooling and production,” says Gros, “We have a very aggressive time frame to get these out to the public for Christmas, and we plan on ramping up production as soon as our goal is met.”

In exchange for pledging to the project, backers can gain access to a variety of rewards including one early bird Tail Lights Rider System for $125 (or the special Kickstarter price of $155), two Tail Lights Rider Systems for as little as $250 and more. Backers can also pledge $1,525 to receive 10 Tail Lights Rider Systems and a shout out on the Tail Lights website and Facebook page for a month!
